Coming Home

Early, when possible, is highly recommended on a sky-blue, breezy, crisp-leaf day. We had a magnificent walk this afternoon, and a pork chop casserole is in the oven now (with onions and potatoes, to be accompanied by veggies presently). City life has its disadvantages, from the bars on the windows to the sirens wailing woe to the loud airplane conventions at night, but those fall walks on sidewalks instead of in leaf-mucky ditches sure are nice. You can shuffle through the leaves proudly, and we do.

And I picked three green tomatoes, a small handful of green beans, and four lima beans today. After mid-November. All-season gardening here is looking more and more plausible. Wish I had more land...
